Robert DeNiro was feted by a handful of actors including Sharon Stone and Ben Stiller in light comic banter, giving a black-box theater feel to the enormous Kennedy Center opera house, followed by Martin Scorsese recounting DeNiro's antics and Meryl Streep speaking about how he inspired her work. For Mel Brooks, a musical medley highlighted scenes from The Producers, Young Frankenstein and more, including a memorable moment with Jack Black leading a rendition of "Men in Tights."

...dynamic rules the exchanges between the leading men and their director. During the interview, they were completely doubled over in laughter, ridiculing each other (“Your faggotry overwhelms me”) and trading inside-jokes (“Homoquizzical, you flaming homosensual”). Lighthearted if nonsensical banter predominated, as Flanery poked fun at Reedus, “I hear the Saints showed up and one of them wreaks havoc and the other one is a queer...
